Title: Lost wallet
Post by: madmooseman on May 29, 2013, 06:32:36 AM
I've pretty much got this problem here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85495.20).  I know a couple of phrases that are possibly in the password.  I have also run one of Revalin's scripts but I had no luck.  I've extracted the seckeys, but I'm not sure where to go from here.

As an aside, I was running the program on an old laptop, but in about a month I'll have access to a desktop that I can just use for cracking.

Has anyone got any advice?

16.64 BTC in it, so it's well worth it. (https://blockchain.info/address/1GyNNZz9eSuGdJTiKHhVXEbJApWSfJxqhu).

I'm happy to send the seckeys and a reward if it works, even if someone had an idea of how to approach it better I would be grateful.

I found someone's wallet. Might this be yours? :)

Haha... ok... just kidding. Doing my first newbie post :)

This guy is offering a paid-for service https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240779.0

Newbie thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=239665.0

I DO NOT vouch for him (it may be a scam), but if you ONLY send him the extracted master key / unused keys it should be safe enough. Don't send him your entire wallet file.

One of my wallets seems to be broken, is anyone else having problems with multibit?

Yeah, might send the extracted master key and have a think about it.  Cheers for that link, it's pretty much what I'm after, although I would prefer a well-respected forum member.

Why not do it on a vps/dedi ?

Install the new version of Multibit. Should fix any issues.

Re-installing it worked, thanks!
